- This is a main cities page for Istanbul. It has only been seen once in the Driver series.
Driv3r[]
Istanbul is a city in Turkey and is the last city to be unlocked in Driv3r. It has a nightclub, two docks, a very long drawbridge (tall when activated), lots of mosques, bars, a train station and even a stadium.
Istanbul is a very dark city, even during the daytime. While it is large and entertaining, the city appears to be the most poor and depressing of the three cities. Unlike the real city, most of Istanbul's cars seem to be quite old, with the exception of a modern motorcycle and a cargo truck, which was based on a locally built modern truck. In-game, the General Directorate of Security, the city's police force, drives a fleet of white/blue stripe sedans.
There are 3 safehouses available: a red brick apartment, a hotel-like building, and a dark building.
